In depth
Verdict
Willie Mullins has wasted no time sending ENTERPRISE PARK chasing, which is hardly surprising as the son of Goldmark is from the family of The Listener and Risk Of Thunder. He couldn't cope with Grade 1 company at Cheltenham on his final start over timber but an earlier easy success in a Grade 3 on heavy ground at Limerick points to his potential. Bob Lingo has fallen in two of his six starts over fences but has the scope to go on to better things. His close third behind Noble Prince at Punchestown was a fine effort and providing he stays on his feet he looks a big threat. Sam Adams has disappointed since a promising chasing debut at Punchestown a year ago and needs a confidence-booster and a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Time Electric, a useful hurdler who really caught the eye on his chasing bow behind Quito De La Roque on his first start for Charles Byrne at Clonmel and will have benefited from the experience.
